$150,000 is the line? geebus, we've always been below.
We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.

The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”.

Which is why the rage.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Did y'all know that the shut down affects aircraft maintenance? The FAA has blocked access to the FARs for advance directives and maintenance bulletins. Inspections cannot be completed.
Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days.

How in the world would I, someone waiting to be seen in the ER notice that "illegal immigrants" are also there? I notice other people, sure, but I can't see their immigration status.
🧵Wait until he sees the lines to get into the ER since his big ugly bill guts the ACA, Medicare and Medicaid. They are making it unfordable and closing rural hospitals. Insurance Companies are deciding their premium increases now. Plus all those they fired won’t have insurance either. ⬇️
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."
Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.

Speaks for itself.

This MAHA tracker is kinda dumb: www.hhs.gov/maha/index.h... It's tracking just a few initiatives. Most won't have as big an effect on human health as reducing pollution to ensure clean air, clean water, and a safe food supply.

All assets from Infowars, the website founded and operated by the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, must be turned over to a court-ordered receiver, a Texas judge said. That person must then sell them to help pay families who lost children in the Sandy Hook shooting and had sued Jones for defamation.
Judge Orders Liquidation of Infowars to Pay Sandy Hook Families
The order comes after a series of legal setbacks for the families of Sandy Hook victims as they tried to collect money owed to them by the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

I thought America was broke and we had to cut back on "frivolous" spending, like for social services. We definitely DON"T need a $200 million addition to the White House.
